Anecdotally, fwiw.

We installed a motion activated light in our laundry room, years ago, since the switch was not in any convenient/sensible location. It worked for awhile, but eventually would turn on, if at all, for like 3 seconds (even when the switch inside was set to 10 minutes).

Probably it was just a cheap, crappy fixture. But I don't think I'll ever try to use a "simple" motion activated light again.

Of course, connected lights, whatever that means, are probably even buggier...
